What Paul said is his honest opinion. He's a lot smarter than you think; he's just perhaps making a really bad call here.

I suspect that you might agree with that if you read his non-P4 articles at realworldtech.com. And, like you, he has done / does do semi designs, I believe. :)

He is certainly not a mindless Intel drone. He is, on the contrary, the most aggressive technical source out there for reasons why DRDRAM and Merced may have been bad ideas.
